Many individuals who follow the Nutritarian diet write to Dr. Fuhrman about their success. Keep in mind that results vary from person to person. As always, consult your physician if you have a medical history and/or condition that may warrant individual recommendations.

Manuel's Story

Fearing he would die young Manuel lost an amazing 150 pounds and his teenage son lost 40 pounds; it has been a life changing journey for his family  

I was 43 years- old and weighed 455 pounds. I started the Nutritarian diet because I was worried about my health and weight and began to fear that I could die from a heart attack at any moment when I found out heart disease is the number one killer in our country. I did not have any painful symptoms except for being obese and having elevated blood pressure and high cholesterol.

 I wanted to be around to see my kids grow up and get married and be able to play with my grandkids. I knew that the odds were slim of this happening if I continued on the same path of unhealthy eating. I decided to read Eat to Live and viewed one of Dr. Furman's videos on YouTube. It inspired me to go "cold turkey.“ I  started to eat healthy.

 I am now down to 300 pounds and I no longer have high cholesterol and my blood pressure is at a decent level. I have a great amount of energy and I exercise 5 to 6 days per week. My mental health has also greatly improved. I am more positive, happy and relaxed.

 My 16-year-old son also followed me on this journey. He started at 315 pounds and now he weighs a thin healthy 175 pounds and hardly has any fat on him. He is also able to jog 5 miles at a time now that his health has improved. This has been a life changing event for me and my family. We are very grateful to Dr. Fuhrman for his book and videos. Thank you.
